You have to use “==” to evaluate a value, “=” is to assign a value.

You can also use .Equals() method which is the better way. Or better yet, if your using a sting and want to check if it’s null or empty use String.IsNullOrEmpty(valueToCheck).

Hope this helps

Hi,

I don,t have the examples in VB, but use this in C#

DirectoryInfo dir = new DirectoryInfo(“C:\”);
FileInfo[] files = dir.GetFiles(“*.*”,SearchOption.TopDirectoryOnly);
foreach (FileInfo file in files)
{

Console.WriteLine(file.Name);
}

How about referencing your form with oForm instead of TheMainForm

Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnlogin.Click
Dim strUsers, strPassword As String
Dim oForm As TheMainForm
oForm = New TheMainForm()
oForm.Show()
oForm = Nothing

strUsers = txtUsername.Text
strPassword = txtPassword.Text
If strUsers = “Jean Brady” And strPassword = “M1” Then
oForm .Show()
Else : oForm .Hide()
End If
End Sub

Hope this helps
